Question

the radius of a circle measures 6 m. what is the circumference of the circle? use 3.14 for π, and do not round your answer. be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the circumference of a circle

The formula for the circumference \(C\) of a circle is \(C = 2\pi r\) (where \(r\) is the radius).

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(r = 6\) m and \(\pi=3.14\). Then \(C=2\times3.14\times6\).
First, calculate \(2\times6 = 12\). So \(C = 3.14\times12\).

Step3: Perform the multiplication

\(3.14\times12=(3 + 0.14)\times12=3\times12+0.14\times12=36+1.68 = 37.68\).

Answer:

\(37.68\) m
